Last Wednesday was basketball media day up at the Connecticut State Capitol building in Hartford. It was another long day, but I thought I would give you another behind the scenes look.

October 16- The Longest Day
Last Friday was a very long day. It was team picture day, the first day of practice, pre-season awards banquet and Midnight Madness. I thought it would be a great day to give you a behind the scenes look.

First Guest Blogger!!!
Goodmorning everyone!
This is Jaclyn Goldbarg, one of the Assistant Coaches here at UMBC! I’m excited to be the first guest blogger on Coach Stern’s blog. Though my name can’t be turned into anything very witty like “PHILosophy,” I’d like to take a minute to say hello and share a few thoughts with you all.
First, let me thank Coach Stern for the “extension” he granted me on this assignment… I’m no more than months out of college, and procrastination on homework assignments seems to have picked up right where it left off! Coach asked me to write a blog last week, but my creative motivation was apparently lacking.
And then… yesterday (Monday) morning, driving to work I noticed almost all of the trees have started to turn orange and red and yellow… I got out of my car and it was actually cold outside! Like the real kind of cold, the kind that when you feel it you know exactly what time of year it is…Next, when I walked into the RAC I could smell fresh lacquer and saw the floor nicely refinished and perfectly shiny!...Last night the team did their end of preseason conditioning test and everyone did great, with a lot of big improvements!... So what time of year is it exactly?... All signs point to BASKETBALL SEASON!!!
Now, with only a few days until the first official practice of the year, the team, the staff, and everyone here at UMBC couldn’t more excited! Personally, the first few months of working here have been exciting everyday when I realize I’m actually a college basketball coach!! The transition from playing to coaching has been relatively easy. Everyone in the athletic department here has been welcoming and helpful! The other Women’s basketball Assistants (Coach Godsey and Coach Roche) are awesome on the court and off! Okay fine, Coach Stern is pretty cool too… haha! The players have been great so far! Although I’m only a few years at the most older than them, the girls are all incredibly respectful and great to work with! They’ve worked very hard on the court and in the weight room this preseason and I’m really looking forward to seeing them progress as a team this season!
That’s about all for now… and I’m sure Coach Stern will be wanting his Blog back soon! Have a great week and hope to see you all at Midnight Madness on Friday night!!!!!
